The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Li Qi, take a moment to recover your strength on the side. I'll spar with you next."

Aside from caring about who wins and loses, Tang Rao also compared Yang Zhi and Li Qi. Compared to before, both of them have improved significantly, though Yang Zhi not as much. But Li Qi's progress has been tremendous, and everyone has witnessed his success.

"No problem."

Tang Rao was Li Qi's leader, and whatever Tang Rao said, Li Qi would listen.

After settling Li Qi, Tang Rao went to find Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi had several injuries and, after the match with Li Qi, was helped to the side by a few people. He was given some Elixir Pills, and his wounds visibly improved at a rapid pace.

"It looks like your injuries are healing well. Compared to Li Qi, have you noticed your own shortcomings?"

The shortcomings Tang Rao could see were surely noticed by Yang Zhi as well, being the one involved.

"Yes, even with high-level Martial Arts, I'm no match for sheer strength against others."

Ever since Tang Rao brought Li Qi back, anyone who went up against Li Qi described him in this way.

They understood this simple truth, which justified Tang Rao's effort in bringing Li Qi back from such a complex place.

"It's all right. Li Qi has Innate Divine Strength. It's not a loss to be beaten by his hard-hitting style. He'll be a good opponent for you in the future. If you fight again next time, you might make progress."

First, Tang Rao pointed out Yang Zhi's shortcomings and then encouraged him that perseverance could lead to victory. Yang Zhi felt comforted after hearing it.

After seeing Yang Zhi's recovery, Tang Rao went back to Li Qi, whose strength quickly returned to its peak state before engaging in combat.

"I haven't flexed my muscles in a while. How about a straightforward match?"

When Tang Rao suggested an earnest fight, it meant that regardless of what happened, he wouldn't use Martial Arts or other methods. It ensured a completely fair and just duel with Li Qi.

"Sure."

Although he seemed to have recovered, Li Qi, whose body hadn't truly reached its peak, suddenly became invigorated.

Every duel with Tang Rao was a vital moment for Li Qi to gain valuable experience. Even if Tang Rao hadn't offered, Li Qi would have requested another bout himself.

"Come on, I'm waiting for you."

Tang Rao was the fastest, standing in the center of the training field just as Li Qi took his first step.

As soon as Li Qi reached him, Tang Rao launched an immediate attack without a word.

In matches between experts, it's a contest of strength; aside from raw power, it's also about speed and reaction time. There's no doubt about Li Qi's strength, but compared to Tang Rao, his speed was as different as a mountain.

Today his opponent was Tang Rao. He trusted him easily. But if tomorrow it's his enemy, and he trusts them, can he still keep his life?

"No matter who's in front of you, anyone that poses a threat cannot be trusted. That's the first point. In a fight, it's crucial to leverage time, place, and harmony to gain an edge and secure victory. That's the second point."

Tang Rao subdued Li Qi with just two moves, one of which was letting Li Qi have the advantage. The outcome dealt a significant blow to Li Qi.

"Absolute strength holds the absolute advantage. That's the third point."

The training field was silent; every word from Tang Rao was clearly heard by everyone present.

Rather than merely sparring with Li Qi, it was more like using Li Qi as an example to teach everyone present an important lesson.

After Tang Rao finished speaking, the whole place erupted in thunderous applause.

"Boss, you're incredible! We all feel intimidated by this quiet kid, but you easily took him down with just a couple of moves. Tell us how you did it!"

Cha Xiangzi almost wanted to lift Tang Rao up to pay homage, but fortunately, Tang Rao was quick enough to avoid being seized by Cha Xiangzi.

"Just speak normally, no need for all the hands and feet. I've already said, absolute strength holds the absolute advantage."

Tang Rao did say this, but he talked so much back then, Cha Xiangzi hadn't had the chance to digest every word. He always asked whatever came to mind first.

"I still don't get it. You're definitely strong, but that kid isn't weak either. Plus, he's especially resilient. Even a group of us can't beat him, and if you don't use Martial Arts, you shouldn't be so impressive. But you beat the kid, and your speed is faster than ever. I thought I was seeing things."

Cha Xiangzi's way of complimenting Tang Rao was so subtle that Tang Rao felt his face burning. He knew it wasn't the time to show off yet. All he could do was quietly respond to Cha Xiangzi's praise with, "Hey now, I'm only at the peak of Upper God Stage. It's not as impressive as you say."

Only at the peak of Upper God Stage, not as impressive as Cha Xiangzi claims?

Anyway, Cha Xiangzi's strength has never been as high as Tang Rao's. It's normal for him not to see Tang Rao's strength. It always takes someone stronger than Tang Rao to mention it before it slowly reaches his ears, and he learns about Tang Rao's true strength.

If memory serves right, the last he heard was Tang Rao at Upper God Stage. At that time, Cha Xiangzi was already excited. This time, hearing directly from Tang Rao, that he was now at the peak of Upper God Stage.

The peak of Upper God Stage, oh little brother, this is the most awesome person Cha Xiangzi has ever heard of or encountered.

If it were Cha Xiangzi, he would definitely throw a banquet to let everyone know how awesome Cha Xiangzi is.

Tang Rao was different. When others showed off their strength, he did so with extreme humility. Yet within the modesty, the strength he exhibited made others both love and hate him. That complex mix of feelings, Cha Xiangzi found it really hard to express with just a few sentences.

"Boss, I think we'll never surpass you in this lifetime. You're not a god; you're a monster."

When Cha Xiangzi said that, others around him echoed the sentiment, including Geng Bucuo, Liu Da from the very beginning, and several others who followed Tang Rao later, making significant contributions to the Kao Shan Sect.

"You all make me feel embarrassed. Our Kao Shan Sect is filled with countless treasures. Everything needed for cultivation is provided for free. Everyone's cultivation resources are equal. If you want to be like me, besides talent, what matters most is diligence. I'm sure you'll agree even if I don't say it."

"Yeah, the boss is right. Among us, the cultivation resources are the same. No one should complain about anyone else. Look at us, some may not be innately strong but have cultivated through hard work. It all boils down to diligence."
